It’s natural to watch Jimmer Fredette and come away impressed with the Brigham Young junior guard. Flaws in his game are hard to find.
UNLV Basketball
After an exceptional career at UNLV and a seven-year stint in the NBA that ended in 1984, Robert Smith never left basketball. The former point guard played in the Continental Basketball Association and in France, coached at all levels from youth to college and spent a lot of time in local rec centers teaching fundamentals.
At an NCAA Tournament party inside a South Point ballroom in March, hundreds of college basketball fans gathered for the opening day of games.
They ate (some), drank (a lot) and wagered (even more). They cheered and booed. They shot baskets for prizes. They laughed when Brigham Young lost another first-round game.
LARAMIE, Wyo. — After a month in which every game was suspenseful for UNLV, junior forward Matt Shaw enjoyed a night that was in no way stressful.
LARAMIE, Wyo. — No insult intended to junior guard Kendall Wallace, but when he’s in the starting lineup for UNLV, it’s probably because of bad news. In this case, it’s another injury.
Cox Pavilion hasn’t been kind to the UNLV women’s basketball team since Mountain West Conference play tipped off last month.
Eleven players are consistently seeing the floor for UNLV, and such a deep rotation is rare for a college basketball team three months into the season. It was coach Lon Kruger’s plan all along, and he’s sticking to it.
In November there were questions about which one of the 11 would be the Rebels’ leader. On and off the floor, junior guard Tre’Von Willis has provided the answer.
An optimist would say UNLV junior Derrick Jasper received a positive injury report Wednesday. His basketball season is expected to continue. But he will miss approximately five weeks, after an MRI examination revealed a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
The UNLV women’s basketball team erased a nine-point deficit in the final two minutes to beat Air Force 77-76 in a Mountain West Conference game Tuesday at Air Force Academy, Colo.
It’s nights like Tuesday that I thought I would miss Joe Scott.
Just when it appeared Derrick Jasper was on the verge of finally getting comfortable on the basketball court again, the UNLV junior guard suffered what could be a major setback.
When junior guard Derrick Jasper crumpled to the court with a knee injury late in the first half, UNLV was faced with the possibility of suffering two major losses in one game.
Often judged on their production as a group, UNLV post players Brice Massamba, Matt Shaw and Darris Santee are like three guys sharing a one-bedroom apartment.
FORT WORTH, Texas — It took some time for Tre’Von Willis to show it, but what he’s doing now is what he always expected. Never has the UNLV junior guard played better basketball.

UNLV knocked Texas Christian out of last season’s Mountain West Conference Tournament, and the Lady Rebels appeared poised Saturday to score another big upset over the same team.
